[1]OnOctober 27, 1920, Lenin received a delegation from a Party
Conference of Alexandrov Uyezd (Vladimir Gubernia),
consisting of Comrades Ratnikov, Rybakov, Romanov and Glazunov,
who informed him of abuses at the Troitsk Equipment Works
and of the difficulty Party members had bringing the matter to
the attention of the centre and obtaining its speedy investigation.
The letter to the Vladimir Gubernia Party Committee was the
result of Lenin’s conversation with this delegation.
